TERMS & CONDITIONS

Returns Policy

Please inspect thoroughly all lots purchased upon collection or postal receipt. Returns can only be made within 7 days of receipt, with written explanation of the reasons why. Items can only be returned if significantly mis-described, or if proven to be inauthentic when sold as genuine. Bulk lots cannot be returned and thus we strongly advise viewing such lots in person. The nature of what constitutes a bulk lot is determined at Lockdales’ discretion. Returned lots will only be accepted if returned in the same condition they were received in. We seek to stress by these terms: that the practices and etiquette of sale by auction are different from those relevant to sale by private treaty. Items in our auction are not sold “on approval”. Bidders should be certain of the nature of each lot before bidding. We do not refund postal charges.

*We do not guarantee books, clocks, watches or cameras.

ESTIMATED VALUES: The estimated values shown after each lot are the auctioneer’s opinion of what each lot may realise. The price realised may be in excess of this figure, it may also be less than.

POSTAL BIDDING: You may bid by mail before the sale. Please use the form provided. Enter the maximum you are prepared to offer for each lot and the auctioneer will represent you. Lots are knocked down at one step above the next highest bid, and not necessarily your highest bid. For example: Your highest bid is £110 and the next highest bid is £80: the hammer price is £85.

Lots purchased on behalf of postal bidders will be forwarded by the most practical method at the risk of the purchaser. Postage, packing, freight and insurance costs or part thereof shall be borne by the purchaser.

Each lot is sold as genuine unless otherwise described in the sale catalogue.

Lots offered “as is” or “offered on their merits” may contain items that are not genuine and therefore may not be returned for any reason.

INVOICE & PAYMENT: Successful postal bidders will be sent a Pro Forma invoice immediately after the sale with details of payment methods. All invoices must be paid within seven days of the sale or the lot(s) may be deemed in default and any subsequent loss incurred on resale becomes the responsibility of the bidder.
